If the woof-CE slacko64 mailing list is not sufficient for slacko64(-pre-alpha), may I suggest a "slacko64 unofficial" thread till Mick announces it in the forum?

I saw the post by James and then the item in the screenshot, guess you need to change the "testers welcome" part?

I certainly do not mean to discourage any testing.
But this being a woof-CE thread is focusing on woof issues and testing woof-CE changes on specific subjects or build processes.
If every woof-CE built puppy was discussed/tested here, would be a useless mess.
Was mentioned some time back in a similar occasion.
Most important, your contribution may go unnoticed/hard-to-find here.
Both Mick and BK pointed to the woof-CE mailing list for slacko64 related discussion (as shown in your screeny too)._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Some news about JWM new release.

When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

After 1000+ commits and over 40000+ lines of code changed, the first woof-CE release is in beta stage.

Thanks to Zigbert has a brand-new, puppy-only, look while countless under the hood changes assure the wide hardware compatibility, the great out-of-the-box functionality and the minimal size that Puppy is known for, at its best.

Give it a try._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Well, the way things are going, I'm a little excited by jamesbond's idea. Not because it's Ubuntu but because it could really be adapted to any package management system. So, if you figure out the requirements (which don't seem too hard) any distro can be the parent but still have the wholesome puppy goodness.

simargl${n} pointed out on numerous occasions (really kicking us in the guts about it) that old PPM is poor (he described it in other ways, but you get the drift). FWIW he was right, (still, doesn't mean I like you though simargl! . You have the people skills of a dinosaur). It would certainly be beyond the capability of the developer base here to extend good ol' PPM to perfection for every distro that woof supports.

That's the idea. As for Alpine linux specifically seems to use its own package manager (apk-tools) - we will need to look at what an .apk file actually is; and whether apk-tools can install to a chroot. If it does, then it should be possible to do so - although alpine linux probably misses a lot of the usual binaries that puppy depends on, and must be heavily modified to work correctly._________________Fatdog64, Slacko and Puppeee user.
